    if GOG would finally make a Linux GOG Galaxy without having to go through troublesome third Party tinkering (compared to steam) it would be a great competitor.

    I still think this is a huge blunder by GOG. There has to be a very significant overlap in the user base of DRM free software and Linux.

    At least Heroic has matured very well and GOG partnered up with them so something is moving.

      By far not enough sadly, and they could literally just integrate proton into a store that runs on Linux, proton is open source (besides some steam API stuff).

      Its not hard and them not doing it shows how little CDPR actually cares about GOG, its either running or not they don’t really give a fuck. And for that it works good all things considered.

        CDPR aren’t gamers’ friends. Look at the transphobia controversy. Look at promising no crunch and then crunching anyway. CDPR are the “how do you do fellow kids” of the gaming industry. Everything they put out is greenwashed garbage.

          OK, let’s be real, everything gets labeled trans phobia and I bluntly don’t give a fuck about it anymore.

          You can put any word and afterwards trans phobia in to the search engine of your choice and you will get results, I’ve already seen a article claiming that cheese is anti trans and hate on women.

            I don’t believe you. Google doesn’t show that article, and I followed your instructions to the letter. I think you’re making stuff up.

                I still don’t believe you. That article doesn’t mention transphobia at all. It makes a point about sexism, and sexism isn’t the same thing as transphobia. Your claim that there’s an article saying cheese is transphobic is false. Also, I agree with the article. I love drinking breast milk, but only if she consents. And cows can’t consent.

                  I might have mixed the example up but the point still stands.

                    There are two reasons that common things might often be accused of immorality:

                    1. Snowflakes these days are too sensitive
                    2. We live in a fundamentally unethical society and have serious work to do to fix it

                    I believe in 2. Do you?

      Glad to hear Gog is partnering with Heroic. Heroic is pretty slick, and only getting slicker. Shame to waste effort, and much better than forking and not contributing to upstream.
